It would help to have more info on what you need to run this. The page mentions "without the need for any new hardware", but doesn't say what existing types of hardware it is compatible with. The apps available for download gives a hint, but are the apps for displaying the content, or for controlling the content?

For example, I recently setup a dashboard using a Raspberry Pi running Chromium - would this work for my use case?

And does the control work over the local network, or does it require an internet connection?

The controller is a web app (https://admin.signagesync.app), and the app is basically a WebView wrapper. The app has 2 "modes", control (opens the website mentioned earlier) and display.

The app requires internet, but the content can be from local network. Eventually if there's enough demand I'll make everything local.

It doesn't work for RPi yet but soon!
